An ordered draft sequence of the 17-gigabase hexaploid bread wheat (Triticum aestivum)
genome has been produced by sequencing isolated chromosome arms. We have annotated …

The recent advances in alien gene transfer from distantly-related species into wheat are
reviewed in the present paper. The main achievements during the last ten years include the …

Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) has been widely used in the physical mapping of
genes and chromosome landmarks in plants and animals. Bacterial artificial chromosomes (…

The allohexaploid bread wheat genome consists of three closely related subgenomes (A, B,
and D), but a clear understanding of their phylogenetic history has been lacking. We used …

Sears ( 1956 ) pioneered plant chromosome engineering 50 years ago by directed transfer
of a leaf rust resistance gene from an alien chromosome to a wheat chromosome using X-ray …

We investigated the composition and the basis of genome expansion in the core Triticeae
genome using Aegilops tauschii, the D‐genome donor of bread wheat. We sequenced an …

Fusarium head blight (FHB) resistance was identified in the alien species Leymus racemosus,
and wheat-Leymus introgression lines with FHB resistance were reported previously. …

Gene amplification has been observed in many bacteria and eukaryotes as a response to
various selective pressures, such as antibiotics, cytotoxic drugs, pesticides, herbicides, and …

Hexaploid wheat (Triticum aestivum) contains triplicated genomes derived from three distinct
species. To better understand how different genomes are coordinated in the same nucleus …

Aqueous extracts obtained from leaves/seeds of various medicinal plants were evaluated
for their ability to detoxify aflatoxin G1 (AFG1) by thin-layer chromatography and enzyme-…
